How to Stop Bullying – Essay On April 16th 2009, eleven year old Jaheem Herrera woke up acting strangely and did not want to go to school, but he packed his bag and went to Dunaire Elementary in DeKalb County, Georgia. When he came back from school that day, he was much happier and gave his mother his report card full of As and Bs. She gave him a high five and he went upstairs while his mother fixed dinner. A little while later his younger sister called him down to eat, but Jaheem didn’t answer. So, his mother and younger sister went upstairs to check on him and found him hanging by his belt in the closet. (CNN 1) Bullying is a horrible crime that has always affected many young people and we need to find a way to stop it. There are four kinds of bullying and they are physical, verbal, covert, and cyber. Physical bullying includes kicking, tripping, pushing, hitting and damaging property. Verbal bullying includes insults, teasing, name calling, intimidation, and homophobic or racist remarks. Covert bullying is harder to recognize because it is done behind the bullying victims back, this kind of bullying can include spreading rumors, playing cruel jokes to embarrass and humiliate, mimicking unkindly, encouraging other to socially exclude someone, or damaging someone’s social reputation or social acceptance. The last type of bullying is cyber bullying; this kind is done in the digital world and it can include harassment via a mobile phone, intentionally excluding someone from social networking spaces, or setting up an insulting personal website. (NCAB) In order to stop bullying at school, school districts now have to find a way to budget their money to afford bullying programs.

... Bullying in Schools
I’m a firm believer in treat others how you would like to be treated, that’s the number one rule and it should be carried out in every aspect of life. What is bullying? Bullying is repeated verbal, physical, social or psychological aggressive behavior by a person or group directed towards a less powerful person or group that is intended to cause harm, distress or fear. If someone was in the position to stop you from being bullied and did nothing how would you feel? Are you even aware of how much pain the victims feel every day? It isn’t a good feeling waking up every day knowing you’re going to get torture and see no way out.

...tradition and established laws and a justification for his actions. King, a leader of a civil-rights
group that supported protest against traditional views, encouraged protesting
Against tradition and established laws that are unjust. In his letter from
Birmingham Jail King states,
"It was illegal to aid and comfort a Jew in Hitler's Germany. Even so, I am
sure that, had I lived in Germany at that time, I would have aided and comforted
my Jewish brothers. If today I lived in a Communist country where certain
Principles dear to the Christian faith are suppressed, I would openly advocate
Disobeying that country's anti-religious laws."
He wrote this in response to his fellow clergyman's assertion that breaking the law is not how to achieve equality. King countered that one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws. King had hoped that the white moderates would accept the equality of African American people with white society. King writes this letter to persuade his clergymen to remain strong and keep fighting to end racism and prejudice. His quote was about Prejudgment that
“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.”

I. On September 07, 2012 Amanda Todd uploaded a video to her YouTube account. She tells us about how a few years prior she had been video chatting with someone that she had met online and how she was flatter by him. This man asked her to flash him on camera and she did. The man then took it upon himself to take a picture of Amanda flashing him, he then started stocking her on the internet and asking her to do it again but Amanda refused so he decided to send the picture to all of her friends on Facebook.

...propositions because I believe being bullied to death is unnecessary and it can be stopped. Internet bullying can lead to suicide, therefore we must end the rise of social media before it turns into external violence.
Postman believes that technology and internet growth results in childhood disappearing. He points out the period of the Middle Ages where there was no separation between child and adult. He believes that, “The absence of literacy, the absence of the idea of education, the absence of the idea of shame-these are the reasons why the idea of childhood did not exist in the medieval world.”2 Everything was exposed. There was no such thing as children and adults, everyone shared and did the same things. Then Postman explains how the printing press being invented had a huge impact because it, “created a new symbolic world that required, in its turn, a new conception of adulthood.”3 He then further talks about how a machine being built can result in having the machine control us. “But once the machine is built, we discover-sometimes to our horror, usually to our discomfort, always to our surprise- that it has ideas of its own; that it is quite capable not only of changing our habits but...of changing our habits of mind.”4 I say this is very true because like Phoebe Prince, we start to embrace ourselves in the world of internet, TV, cell phones and media that we forget how to think with just our brains....
